Order # 138736Draft in Progress - Breaking Monday Night VERY, VERY IMPORTANT TO READ:Draft Rules:

(By joining this break, you agree to these rules)
Because there are 265 spots, we need to implement a few rules to move the draft along.

1. I will provide a spreadsheet (2011 Chrome Rank.zip) with every pick on it. I strongly encourage you to provide a list and allow me to pick for you. By using this spreadsheet for your list, I can create a database and make quick work of the auto picks.

2. The draft clock will run from noon to midnight every day starting 24 hours after the draft (to allow b/s/t).

3. You get 45 minutes from the time the previous pick was made. If you miss your clock (and have not sent a list), your next clock is 15 minutes. If you miss the 15 minute clock, you are on automatic auto-pick until you check-in. We have all been held captive by guys who are awol - so this will help with that.

4. Common courtesy is extremely important in these drafts - especially this one. PM the next person in line (or ask someone to PM for you if you cannot). Subscribe to the thread and stay updated! If you are nearing your 45 minute deadline and are still picking, just post a comment - "Hey, I am here and picking now." I promise I am not an ogre trying to auto-pick you Sean Rodriguez when you really wanted Jay Sborz.

5. Have fun! Cornerstore recently got a Superfractor of his PC player with one of the last picks in Dachman's draft. Anything can happen!
So, here are the paypal rules:

New info: 4 autos have not shown up - maybe that are ssp? Maybe they were never made? Rather than risk you guys getting nothing, I am removing them from the list. Should we pull them, they will be donated to me. Ok, ok, fine - should they be pulled, we will random them to anyone who missed the marquee random.

We dropped BDPP out of this break - it was going to take too long to fill and I have a Finest break in a few weeks.

To answer a few questions very quickly:

This is mostly a player draft. With each spot, you can pick any card from 2011 Topps Chrome. I will be providing checklists and a default ranked list. Any player that has both an autographed card and a non-autographed card, those are 2 different picks (auto or non-auto - NOT BOTH).

The Marquee case hits will be RANDOMED amongst all spots. You have an 22.6% chance of getting a Marquee hit for every spot you have. If you have 5 spots, the odds say you should also get 1 Marquee hit, but it is NOT guaranteed. The Marquee hits are BONUSES and should be viewed as such. If you sell or trade your spot, you ALSO lose that spot's chance at a Marquee hit.

For every 5 spots you buy, you may choose to get 1 guaranteed marquee hit. Those 5 spots are then removed from the Marquee random - thus raising the chances for everyone else slightly. Trades do not count. Also, if you are trading, you must keep at least these 5 spots to be fair.

I already got the price quote straight from Chris.
(the marquee case was a pre-order).

A. Get 1 guaranteed Marquee hit/spot (of the 60). If you do so, these 5 spots are removed from the Marquee random (and slightly raising the odds for everyone else). Trading does not count.

B. Keep your spots in the marquee random with the odds of approximately 1.2 spots per 5 spots in the main draft. You could get none or multiple this way.

Before anyone freaks out, the people getting the guaranteed marquee spot are RAISING your chances of getting a marquee hit! Think it through, this is good for you!

PRICES WILL NOT CHANGE - we are locked in!

General Rules for my breaks:

1. If you hit a card worth $250 or more, I will ask you to pay for upgraded shipping - priority mail, signature confirmation, and insurance.

2. If you join this break, you must be willing to pay quickly. We want to order right away - it takes 3 days after payment for the cases to arrive.

3. If you join this break, you must subscribe to this thread. It makes life SO MUCH EASIER.

4. Because this is a club break, the host DOES have a spot. If this bothers you in any way, please do not join. All breaks are done LIVE and recorded.

5. Once you receive your cards, please post in the thread that your cards were received. For anything outside the USA, I will provide the customs # as proof of delivery. This rule is so that Blowout Cards can see that you have received your cards and it makes it easier for me to open another break.

6. If a pull wins the monthly "best pulls" contest on BO, the prize will be a new break with all hits (or teams) randomed amongst all participants.

EDIT: 9/19/2011

7. If you sell a spot outside of the break, someone has to cover the extra shipping.

Break is now open. Format and slot pricing are within the guidelines and the host has provided verification for the age requirement. Please do your own due diligence and only join if you are comfortable with dealing with the host.

How would you decide what Marquee hits go to the main random and which ones go to the automatic hits (people that by 10 or more and decide to take some)

main random should be randomed to determine who goes in the marquee hit pool, then combined with automatic and randomed again, but that's just how i think it makes sense. i would like to know the answer though.

How would you decide what Marquee hits go to the main random and which ones go to the automatic hits (people that by 10 or more and decide to take some)

I won't decide - it will all be random.

First, I will break the marquee case and everyone will see all 48 hits plus the 12 boxes of base. If we get an extra hit (auto/relic) or any 1/1, we will add them to the total spots (61 or 62 spots) instead of 60.

Second, I will take out the spots for anyone wanting the guarantee - the first 10 if they have more than 10. Let's assume there are 5 people taking the guarantee and I remove those 50 spots.

Third, I will then take the remaining 482 spots and have them randomed twice. The top 55 (or so) spots would make up the marquee random.

Fourth, I will add the 5 guaranteed spots to the bottom of this list in alphabetical order and random these 60 names twice. This will be the final order for marquee hits.

Fifth, I will have the list of Marquee hits randomed twice. This list will be matched with the list of names and whatever spot you have in both lists is your prize.

You can buy/sell/trade spots to get more spots in the marquee random, but they cannot be used for the guarantee. You cannot break up your player draft and the marquee random - this is a big enough logistical nightmare as it is - however, after the marquee random, you can sell your marquee hits separately from the player draft.
